Fourth of July and America 250 celebrations are just around the corner. Although I love getting together with family, eating good food, and watching fireworks, the patriotism surrounding this holiday can feel performative.

Omar Abdulkadir Artan may be the best soccer referee in Africa. He’s certainly one of the best in the world. We know this because he was one of just 52 people chosen to officiate the 2026 World Cup, which kicks off on Thursday.
